We love our Boston upright - it's old and decrepit, but has the depth and complexity of a fine wine. This piano embodies "beauty in imperfection" and almost always finds it's way onto a track. If you are looking for a concert piano with clean sounds, this is NOT your guy, but this piano offers character and soul that you can't find anywhere else. The tone is rich and dark, and fall anywhere on the spectrum of grand and eerie to light and playful.
